Moscow (VNA) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has underscored the comprehensive and consistent leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), especially in protecting the people’s interests.

During a January 20 press conference reviewing the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ diplomatic activities in 2025, Lavrov, responding to a question from a Vietnam News Agency (VNA) correspondent about the ongoing 14th National Congress of the CPV, emphasised that the CPV is the force that decisively determines all of Vietnam’s development orientations.

He expressed confidence that the outcomes of the 14th National Party Congress will help frame future plans to further advance the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Russia.

According to Lavrov, since Vietnam’s victory in its struggle for national independence and freedom, Russia has consistently supported the Vietnamese people in nation-building, socio-economic development, and the enhancement of foreign relations, including the traditional friendship with Russia. He noted that the two countries have established and maintained strong ties at all levels, including between their top leaders and heads of Governments.

He also affirmed Russia’s full support for cooperation between the CPV and the ruling United Russia party, adding that inter-party relations continue to flourish./.
